Version 2.x of Emojione is no longer supported by Ranks.com. Versions 3 and 4 have slightly different desigsn and new, more restrictive licensing terms. Some people prefer the flat cartoon design and the FOSS license with actual access to the SVG sources.
The artwork of the second generation of the web's first complete open source emoji set. It is and will stay 100% free and open source.
We need help from graphic designers to make more glyphs!
See the milestones, projects and especially the issues tagged character artwork for details.

Every year Unicode aims to release a couple dozen new emojis.
Some of them come with gender and skin tone variants, but at least the latter can be generated automatically.
Emojitwo is restricted to the artwork, i.e. image files. SVG is its native format. Everything else is derived from that.
- Unicode 9 beta emojis Rifle and Modern Pentathlon have been resurrected: U+1F946 🥆, U+1F93B 🤻.

With the release of version 3.0, the Emojione project also made changes to 2.2.7’s licensing. Previously, Emojione did not require attribution for non-commercial and personal use. Considering that the Emojione project only changed the documentation in that branch to mandate attribution in any case, Emojitwo forked a state before those changes for greater flexibility.
For non-commercial and personal use, you should credit the creators. For commercial use, proper attribution must be given on every web page, app, or video description where our emojis are displayed.
In section 3(a)(1) of the CC-BY 4.0 legal terms, it lists the following as the guidelines needed to fulfill the attribution requirements:
If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You must:

- identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and any others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated);

The sprites are not automatically updated and should be refreshed locally if you plan to use them. To do this, you must have NPM, Grunt, and ImageOptim installed on your machine.
From the root of the project, first install Node modules:
$ npm install
Then generate new sprites and css by executing:
grunt
Note: the ImageOptim process takes a few minutes to optimize the PNG sprite.
If you discover any bugs, feel free to create an issue on GitHub. We also welcome the open-source community to contribute to the project by forking it and issuing pull requests.
